Dranoel Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 After many 1911 builds I decided to try my hand at something new. So, I've had an idea percolating in my head for a while to build an AR10 based precision/sniper rifle. Did a lot of research to find the consensus on what the best quality components are and started making a list. Local gun shop carries Aero Precision so I started there, looking to get a stripped lower, parts kit, buffer tube, trigger (Hyperfire), upper receiver and bolt carrier group (Aero). The rest I ordered online: Palm shelf pistol grip (Ergo), buttstock (Luth AR), Handguard (Apex), Vortex Crossfire II 6x24x50 and a Burris mount. Salesman talked me into a complete lower as it would actually be cheaper than a stripped and all the parts. But it came with a Carbine buffer tube.. So now I need to change that to a rifle tube and get the appropriate Luth AR buttstock. So now it's all done except one minor detail. BSF says the barrel I ordered will take 4-6 weeks, But that gives me some time to change the buffer tube and do a little more trigger work. Can't wait to get it to the range and see how well it shoots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 It's a lot faster and easier to transition without the barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to go crunch some numbers and see if the time gained in fast transitions is enough to offset all the FTE's from not shooting any targets. At the very least I'll save money on ammo.

Nothing "Wrong" with the stock, but it won't work on a rifle buffer tube. I'll likely get the rifle version of it. If I sell the buttstock I'll let you know. But it is essentially unused so I'm likely going to ask what I paid for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 (edited) I used to use rifle tubes with rifle stocks thinking they were somehow better, more rigid. But heavier and bulkier too. A good quality collapsible butt stock will be more than solid enough for PRS so certainly an AR. I'm pretty happy with these, no longer any lust for a ready made JP or anything. Top FDE is six pounds with Vortex Spitfire 1x prism and 14.5" Faxon Gunner. Aero Precision upper, lower and Atlas R rails. The Atlas R with full length Picatinny is stronger than the Atlas S (which I've stupidly twisted manhandling by loading a bipod (not this one)). The blue gun has a 1-4 Steiner (good value, Razor bright red dot (I owned both at same time and compared)) and 14.5" medium weight Ballistic Advantage. Magpul 45-degree MBUS. Otherwise same spec: Brownells TIN lightweight BCG, Trigger Tech 3.5# straight triggers, JP captured springs, Battle Arms bolt release, Ambi 45-degree safeties, Magpul, metal Raptor ambi charging handles, Superlative Arms adjustable gas blocks (nicest yet). Midwest barricade stops on both help keep me from putting my hands too far forward. Nice extended Battle Arms pins are worth the splurge. All good parts but nothing Titanium or too ridiculous. Barrels fit to trued receivers using thermal expansion. I look for nice tight fits, I won't use anything that's sloppy. Will tweak gas tubes so they won't touch barrel nut. Keep the ejection port cover pin from touching the hand guard, stuff like that. Big fan of Aero Precision, when I look at $600 billet receivers and Carbon hand guards I just don't see the difference being worth it. The biggest quality difference is, imho, a $2-300 Faxon, BA, White Oak, or any barrel in that range is going to probably be more variable than a $600 JP or Proof, etc. I can't prove this as I haven't shot enough barrels to know anything for sure but price = quality. But if they're all sub-MOA then isn't your shooting ability the much larger overwhelming factor? I won't show you the dozen or so ARs I assembled and mucked up in some minor way to learn what works best. Assembly is simple until you're trying to change an ejector or unpin a gas block without the right tools. Buy the right tools. I am not a gunsmith by any means. Only tuning required was the adjustable gas block to throw the casings at 4-o'clock. Everything ran perfectly from the first to last session. Of course I did these before Covid dried up parts availability and riots made me conserve ammo. Not sure if I will ever shoot another match given the climate but the 1-4 scope is all I need for practical matters in the Northeast, also much lighter than the Razor. The lighter gun may go to family for HD. Hopefully I'm being paranoid I did some weight comparisons and to save another half pound you'd have to spend twice as much and sacrifice some durability. Thinking these are the sweet spot for my environment. Considering everything I sold my long 3G shotgun in preference for a Benelli M2 with 3Gun mods but shorter barrel and a selection of tubes and springs (set up more HD than 3G). I will always shoot a 2011, love them, but have less expensive pistols for HD and PD. Range trips are 50-100 rounds rather than 200-400. Shooting my airguns at home 10x more often, nearly everyday. Keeping a bug out get home safe bag with plates in my car. Edited October 4, 2020 by Frankly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matteekay Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I built a couple, even though I literally never shoot rifles... just seemed like a good idea. American Flavored: Chambered in 5.56 - HM Defense Monobloc upper with HMB bolt, JBO blank lower, Elftmann straight trigger, XMR 3 mag release, Venom Defense compensator, Breek Warhammer charging handle, Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6. Soviet-Sprinkled: Chambered in 7.62x39 - BCA side-charging complete upper, Anderson poverty pony lower, Strike Industries LPK, XMR 3 magazine release, generic stainless comp, Sightmark red dot and magnifier. Pretty much all low-end parts... which feels appropriate for the Commie caliber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dranoel Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Dressed up the butt stock to match the barrel. Gonna do the palm shelf the same way and I have a carbon fiber bipod on the way as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonytheTiger Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 (edited) Brake is upside down. How do you like the Caldwell bipod? Thinking about getting one for one of the kids rifles. Edited December 24, 2020 by TonytheTiger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking about getting one for one of the kids rifles. Brake is upside down for now. It bottomed out the threads before it screwed on far enough to tighten on all of the shims I had. Another 3 sets are now on order and I may look at some other options for it. The bipod is exactly what I expected. Solid and sturdy the legs don't flex at all and the gimbal is very smooth and and easy to adjust the resistance. Honestly I got it because it was the only one that matched the carbon fiber theme but I'm very impressed with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonytheTiger Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 I suppose the jam nut doesn't fit the BSF barrel diameter does it. Good to hear about the bipod, a lot of early reviews complained about them getting loose, they must've tuned them up a little since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHooter Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 15" Mega Maten receiver set, 20" BSF barrel in .308, NiB BCG, Giessele SSA-E trigger (will change out to a Larue MBT), Magpul PRS gen 1 stock, SilencerCo Omega 300 can, Vortex Razor HD 3-18. Make no mistake about it, this gun is HEAVY. I'd like to change out the stock to something a little lighter. The gun is great for a deer blind, but humping it around all day takes a toll on a guy. Gun is super accurate and a sweet shooter, just damn heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
